I would use some sort of rescue cd and ntfsresize from the ntfsprogs package. It can do what you require relatively safely and has a lot of safety checks it does before attempting the operation. I say relatively safely because resizing a partition is risky business in the best cases. You should also know that once you have resized the ntfs filesystem using ntfsresize, you will need to use fdisk or parted to change the size of the underlying partition. Be careful when doing this that the new partition isn't smaller than the filesystem or you'll trash your system, and make sure that the starting cylendar is the same as it was before the resize.
